Scottsdale, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) – Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Patrick Corbin underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a damaged ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.<\/p>\n
The procedure was performed by noted specialist and surgeon Dr. James Andrews.<\/p>\n
Corbin exited his final tune-up start on March 15 with what the team called “forearm stiffness” at the time. In the middle of an at-bat with one out in the seventh inning against the Indians, Corbin was forced to leave the contest due to the injury.<\/p>\n
An MRI taken later that night showed damage to the ulnar collateral ligament, which is a telltale sign that surgery is likely required.<\/p>\n
Corbin stayed in Arizona, while Wade Miley was tabbed to take his place on the club’s recent trip to Sydney, Australia to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n
In four spring starts, Corbin went 1-1 with a 3.26 earned run average. The left-hander was an All-Star in 2013, posting a 14-8 record with a 3.41 ERA and 178 strikeouts in 32 starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
